Bursary

The Government has set aside some money for schools, colleges, training providers and local authorities to allocate to young people who need financial support to stay on in further education or training. This is called the 16-19 Bursary Fund.It could help you with any education-related costs that may arise during the school year, including essentials like a meal during the day or transport to the Academy. You might need extra help to buy books, clothing or equipment for your course, or pay for educational visits.

The amount of financial assistance you will receive is dependent on your personal circumstances. It is intended to help you with the costs of overcoming any barriers to learning.
